Easy to Use: Even for beginners, this primer is easy to use! Just brush it on and let it dry. Eco-Friendly: Green Wise Certified, ultra low VOC and water-based - contains NO harsh chemical additives such as phthalates, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or solvents. Dries Clear: This is a bonus especially if you’re painting a piece of furniture that you would like to later distress. The clear finish means you’ll see the original wood tone underneath when distressing instead of white or grey primer. Great Adhesion: Bonding agents in the primer help to create a more porous surface so that paint can adhere to any smooth surface. No Harsh Smell: Due to the lack of harsh smells, there is almost no odor, allowing you to paint indoors without worrying about your health. When painting a very slick or smooth furniture surface (e.g., laminate furniture, glass, metal) you may need some extra help with adhesion to ensure the paint will stick and stay put for years to come. Our Clear Bonding Primer takes the stress out of painting those tricky surfaces. It is ultra low VOC and contains no harmful solvents, phthalates, formaldehyde, or heavy metals, making it safer than many other primers. There’s no harsh smell so you can paint indoors without worrying about your health. Because this primer is clear, you can still see the natural wood color underneath which is perfect if you’re going for a whitewashed or distressed look!
